  <h1 class="Head">Perspectives</h1>
  <p class="Intro">A perspective defines the initial set and layout of views in the Workbench window. One or more
  perspectives can exist in a single Workbench window.</p>
  <p>Perspectives can be opened either in the same (existing) Workbench window, hiding the current perspective, or in a
  new Workbench window</p>
  <p>Perspectives define visible action sets, which you can change to customize a perspective. You can save a
  perspective that you build in this manner, making your own custom perspective that you can open again later.</p>
  <p class="Para">The Workbench defines the <i>Resource</i> perspective by default. This perspective shows views
  relevant to resource management.</p>
